Good evening! My wife and I host a weightlifting meet each year called Barbell Rodeo. We host it at Sawed-Off Crossfit in College Station and we donate all proceeds to the Down Syndrome Association of Brazos Valley. This is year 5, and this year we have added a raffle for 2 Uesaka barbells. One 15 kg and one 20 kg competition barbell. If you are unfamiliar with the brand, they are on the same level as Eleiko, Werksan, and ZKC the other barbell suppliers for the Olympics, and these bars retail for $1150 a piece. We are selling tickets for $10 ea or 6 for $50. If interested in purchasing, you can venmo me @Jack-Gaines and in the comment let me know its for the barbell raffle and whether you want to put them in the 15 kg or the 20 kg drawing. If you live in the area you can also purchase them at the event. We will be drawing the winners in the afternoon/evening.

If you're in College Station on October 10, we'd love to have some more spectators stop by. This year we have Sarah Davies, an Olympian for Great Britain in the 2020 Olympics competing as well as food trucks, a keg from KinderHill Brewlab, coffee from Polite, and more!
